Bizarre Lyrics in Weezer’s New Track ‘Thank God for Girls’

Weezer’s new track ‘Thank God For Girls’ has some seriously dubious lyrics. The band’s last two singles were deemed boring by fans and critics alike. ‘Thank God For Girls’ is at the very least a strange ode to dating, the female body and sex.

Rivers Cuomo, Weezer’s lead singer, has annotated the lyrics on Genius for you all to read and understand. He suggests that the opening lyrics to the second verse were penned as early as 1997. He also implied that he uses Tinder to hook up and is embittered about the rejection of his advances.

“Such a bummer. Such a bummer. To be evaluated by women. To be graded. To be rated”.

It seems clear that Rivers has not managed to find love on the dating app. He is not so keen on the competitive nature of the app:

“It is a competition and I AM being compared”.

Looks like Rivers is finally copping on to the nature of dating. About time, maybe? The art work for the single is equally confusing. What’s the Pope got to do with it?

We can see why the poor lad struggles with dating. Being the tortured artist must be tiring. Ladies, give the dude a break. He sounds like he just needs a damn date! Read the lyrics in full here.
